Camila Belle was told to hit Tommy Flanagan during the scene in the atrium. She missed him and punched the bridge instead, cutting her knuckle and scarring her hand. She also really did slam her head into a glass window during the fight on the stairs.

When Tiffany (Katie Cassidy) first appears in the movie, she's stirring a jar of red paint while standing next to Scarlet - behind them are several jars of red tinted paints. The name for a woman who is promiscuous or loose is is often referred to as "a scarlet woman", a subtle reference to what Tiffany has done to betray Jill.

I don't get it, who's the stranger?

The stranger is a psychopath who kills for fun. His favourite preys were babysitters on their working nights.
